OBITUARY.

REV. FATHER MACKINTOSH, PARNELL. A press message received from Auckland on Monday reported the sudden death of the Rev. Father James Mackintosh, of Parnell. The immediate cause of death was stated to be syncope, the result of hemorrhage. — R.I. P. MP. JOHN KAVENEY, OTATJTAU. It is with eincere regret (writes an Otautau correspondent) that I have to record the death of Mr John Kaveney, which took place at his residence, Strathmore, Otautau, on November 27. Mr Kaveney was, perhaps, one of the oldest residents in the district, and certainly one of the oldest residents of the Catholic community here, and his death at the comparatively early age of 59 years was generally regretted. Feeling reference was made by the Rev. Fathers Walsh and Sheehan in their respective churches. Deceased, who was a native of Grangemore, County Foscouimon, landed at the Bluff in September, 1864, then a young man of 21 years, and after bearing; the heat and the burden of che early days, contracting and carting to Kingston, he settled at Waicola 20 years aero, and removed to Strathmore some 10 years back, where he resided till hifi death. Deceased was well known in all parts of Southland, and was highly respected for his sterling honesty and largre-heartedness. He was a patriotic Irishman, a great lover of his native land, and a practical Catholic. The interment took place in the Otautau Cemetery, and the funeral was attended by mourners from all parts of the district. A wife and one daughter aged 15 years are left to mourn their loss, and to these, in their sad bereavement, the sincerest sympathy is extended. — R.I.P.
